A picture (more on flickr)


Left is our bar, complete with the wine glasses that were the prior occupants of our apartment, along with two empty (but awesome) bottles, and the then-small collection of Booze Cats (we now have four). Katherine's computer joins our two AC remotes (!) in lounging about.

The apartment remains Spartan, but tomorrow is a day to get a couch, some chairs, possibly an additional table, and likely some more cushions for butts. 

In non-accommodation related news, I had my teacher orientation today. It was calming and helpful, and I came away with many good ideas, and an even greater appreciation for how disorganized my particular school is at this moment. I hope to maintain a well-organized class, because otherwise I will be overwhelmed as all hell.

Today was the first rain storm while I was here, as well, but I was stuck inside for it, regrettably. My weather widget calls for thunderstorms on Monday, though, which is as exciting as it gets. I shall have to purchase an umbrella this weekend. In this town, jackets are for the mad and the natives. It's 10:45 in the evening, and still 80 degrees and just a shade short of rain. So humid your clothing wilts. I love it. Aircon makes it sleeping weather, though. Without my insulated bubble of modernity, I would probably be sleepless.

I need to do many things in the coming days, but the two biggest are do some more creative writing (it's been some time, now), and take more photos. I'd love to have some decent street photos to display, and the graffiti here is something else, when you can find it. Rare, but oh-so-worth it.

Yours,
